I have a VPI Super Scoutmaster and a Lyra Dorian. The typical recommended anti skate on the VPI set up is an imprecise twist of the wire on the arm, from this you get some anti skate. When I put the need down onto a mirrored surface (just for set up), with the cartridge perfectly aligned, the needle arm isn't straight. I believe this is due to the anti-skate force pushing the arm away from the centre of the record. As with no record spinning there is no counter force.
Question! Does this sound ok, I have no idea if I have too much force applied? I have no micro adjusting anti-skate on the VPI. Will the needle align itself properly when the record is spinning, due to the force counteracting the anti-skate?
Cheers, Tim
